Mark Peterson is a co-anchor and
weatherman for KXLY 4 in Spokane.
As a father of three boys, Mark said he’s actively being
more appreciative of family time, and he tries to spend
more of his time making memories with his boys.
“You have to remind yourself to reinvent that feeling,”
he said. “You have to remind yourself that we only have
so long, and we never know how long life will last.”
Mark continues to share his experience through his
work with KXLY in Spokane and through personal con-
nections. So far he’s been told by several people that
his story has personally affected their lives.
“I’ve had several people say they’ve made appoint-
ments to get their heart checked out,” he said. “I even
had one guy say he started having similar symptoms
and called 911. It saved his life. I feel like this is what
I’m meant to do with what I’ve learned.”
